While precise details regarding the requirements for the faculty's undergraduate degrees are outlined in the regulations, students may find some assistance in the following restatement of these requirements in a less formal manner.
A full list of all the subjects available in the degrees is set out in resolution 2 of the faculty resolutions. The normal procedure is for students to select, in accordance with the regulations, the subjects they wish to study in each year of their degree.
The subdean and other officers of the faculty are available to advise students on their choice of subjects at the time of enrolment. This advice, however, will be most helpful if students have already made themselves familiar with all the subjects and considered what their fields of interest are likely to be. Similarly, when re-enrolling in later years of the course, students should discuss their choice of subjects with the faculty advisers.
It is the responsibility of students to ascertain from the regulations governing their courses, the subjects (including the number of points) required for their LLB degrees; the approval of students' enrolments by the faculty does not relieve the students of this responsibility.
There is a restriction on the number of students from other faculties who may enrol in the subject LAW1100 (Legal process). This quota is currently twenty places.
Students who are not enrolled in a law degree course but who obtain a place in LAW1100 (Legal process) may complete, as a non-law student, a minor sequence in subjects from the Faculty of Law, and in addition may complete further specified law subjects to the value of twenty-four points at third-year level provided such subjects are credited to and required for the non-law degree. Students interested in this option should consult the subdean of the Faculty of Law.
(a) The first digit of the subject number indicates the year in which the subject is most commonly taken.
(b) For the purpose of calculating workload, the following compulsory subjects, other than Moot Court, carry twelve points. Moot Court carries two points.
(a) The first digit of the subject number indicates the year in which the subject is most commonly taken.
(b) The last two digits indicate the number of points attributed to the subject.
The elective subjects available in the faculty are set out in resolution 2 of the faculty board. The availability of those subjects in 1997 will depend on the number of enrolments and the availability of teaching staff.
Students should consult section 22 and resolution 4 of the faculty regulations and resolutions respectively.
All compulsory subjects are taught over a full year and most elective subjects are taught over a half year. Whether a subject covers a full year or half year is indicated in the outline of the particular subject.
All subjects in the law course usually involve three hours of lectures per week. Tutorials of one hour each fortnight are provided in addition to lectures in some subjects.
